This may be an easy one but I am very new to Macros.

I would like a promt/Window/box, whatever tou call it to come on screen when
closing the spreadsheet reminding me to ensure that the worksheet is
protected.

Is this possible?

If I can go onestep further I would like it to appear when only certain
people cloes the spreadsheet.

regards

Dim wSheet As Worksheet
'MsgBox Environ("Username")
Select Case Environ("Username")
Case "Name1" ' user name of exempt from protect

Case "name2" 'user name of exempt from protect

Case Else
MsgBox "n"
Select Case MsgBox("Do you want to Protect all Sheets
